Who says it was malicious on Ubisoft's part? It could easily have been a rogue developer that saw an opportunity to install a backdoor on a ton of machines.
It could also have been the Russians, who planted a mole in Ubisoft's quality assurance division and, over time, laying low in a foreign country gaining the respect of his peers and bosses, slowly worked his way to the top of the food chain...
...where at last he installed his Russian Rootkit.
Or maybe some programmer added a feature that was insecure and they moved on to work on some bug that was crashing level three?
